Hello, my computer is Windows 11 and power was lost somewhere mid-update, and now the computer will not get passed the POST, it gets stuck on VGA. It clears CPU and RAM. I'm not quite sure what to do, I've reset the CMOS battery using the buttons on the motherboard and also taking the battery out for a couple minutes as well. Power cycling didn't work. I do not get any signal on my screen.
The motherboard is a Z790 Aorus Elite AX. I have also had this computer for about a year now.

When lacking an "F" processor, consider eliminating the GPU and utilizing one of the iGPU connections on the motherboard. Should there be no GPU, the sole method to potentially damage a board might involve a BIOS flash update.

I've also attempted that, but the computer still fails to pass the VGA POST light. Might a BIOS update help resolve this problem?
